A study of fashion photography since 1945 that places it in the mainstream of popular culture. It relates fashion to influential figures such as Walker Evans and Robert Frank, and its implications transcend purely photographic history. Martin Harrison explores the role of magazine culture and the influences of art directors and editors in creating and reflecting the mood and mood of the post-war decades. With the participation of the greatest figures in the sector, from Richard Avedon and Irving Penn to Bruce Weber, it presents some of the most famous fashion photographs of all time, as well as many rare images. It also examines the participation of artists such as Cindy Sherman and Robert Mapplethorpe, whose work is peripheral to the fashion industry, but whose influence permeates the look and mood of the period. The conclusion is that fashion photography is no longer distinguishable from artistic photography and has become fundamental to understanding modern culture and the means of individual communication.
